These games used to be quite fun and worth memorializing  |

They can't put the shirts on the seats. It will have to be something where they hand them out to people entering the arena.

They obviously can physically put shirts on all of the lower bowl seats like they used to do but based on recent attendance numbers, it would be a colossal waste of clothing. So they would be better off handing the out at the doors and then giving the rest away at another time. |

These types of things are so sad right now. So few people care.....and it just makes things look all the more pathetic. Having a "Gray Out" when the vast majority of seat will be empty and the vast majority that aren't will be fans of the opposing team.....it's just sad. We SO need a fresh start....it's been SO long since we actually mattered for an entire season.

I though “Gray Out” meant all of us older alumni finally packing it in and giving up…

The marketing : this is what the program gets if you attend
What the marketing should be : here's a picture of the t-shirt you get if you attend

Line just posted. UCONN favored by 14.5/ 🤦🏻♂️O/U 148.5. Where’s Dom Perno when we need him?

If you go to the game, you likely can get about forty to fifty shirts. If they change their baggage policy, you could probably outfit a small village with the leftover T-shirts. The UConn fans are going to love them.

3 hours before game time - and the last post on the game thread was 20 hours ago. If the university does not recognize the slow death this program is undergoing (and yes, I realize they may recognize it and just not care) . . .

The subfreezing temps in DC (it's 19 right now) may also discourage attendance today.
Predicted attendance: Actual < 2000; announced > 4000.

I'll be interested to see how many students manage to show up. And if the pep band is as bad as it was last game. . .

Why would the decision makers (DeGoia, Ronny?) do anything if you are threatening to get rid of them and threatening to leave even if they met all your demands but didn’t higher your preferred coach. Wouldn’t they just circle the wagons If you demand their heads on top of demanding the coach of your choice? What would you do in their position? |

Hire Chris Beard or keep Ewing (which really means keep Ewing)? |

OK, you think Ewing should stay. That tracks with the nonsense you have said over the years.
